King Ska-Fa - organ

Bad Manners' fine ska classic 'In The Court of King Ska-Fa' played by me along to the music. Still a few things to work on but I've almost nailed this one. Martin Stewart certainly created some unusual rhythms!

My performance of this is on the Elgam Talisman combo organ (a Hammond would be better but until I get one for my studio...) with wierd clavi/harpsichord solo bit provided by the Yamaha PSR-E413 orchestra. I have no idea what Martin Stewart played that on but it was obviously overdubbed as he couldn't play that and the rhythm organ at the same time.

As usual, if you have any requests for me to do a cover of on my organ, just let me know.

Nice! Could you also do a demo of that mini GEM behind?

@mewrth

Yes, good idea. I will do a demo of the Gemini in the next week or so.

Sorry, the sound quality is rubbish...I will try and re-export it from the DV tape at a higher quality.

What's a good b4 II preset for ska music?

Last message cut short home Organ a Thomas Large Expensive massive audio amps speakers the Drum Machines of the day sounded like one was spitting on you for Cymbals and Drums at their best a Phone Book struck with drum sticks or wood rulers. By the time I learned Hammond Organ Company the main factories were less than a Mile from my house. B3's and the entire Tone Wheel Technology was being phased out. To heavy to transport $3600 US plus Leslie 760 $1600 more I chose YAMAHA YC45 was great
